Thanks Barrie, will look into that. Any idea on a retail price of those? Are they a Canon Genuine part or after market?

I didnt realise that these were blackworms. I will have to see if I can grow some. My fish love them.

Have not looked at that link yet, will do so tonight. I looked at www.dpreview.com Im only really wanting an entry level camera. I am not going to be paying retail so works out at a price I can afford right now. Im not too worried about resale value. It will be handed down if I upgrade in the future. Thanks for all the suggestions so far people. I will let you know how I go with the demo one canon are sending me.

Not $3000 We have them for $1299 include second lens kit. Now do you see Barrie why I asked about the Photography forum

Prob right. Hopefully the demo model arrives tomorrow and Ill see. By then my Crypt pontederifolia spathe will be open and Ill get to see what it will do.

My Canon Rep is sending me one to play with for the next month so will have a look. I dont do huge amount of photography, but I take my camera with me most places I go. I also want to be able to do macros. I realise I will require a Macro lens but that can come later. If I had a better camera I would be using it alot more than I use my current Fuji S series point and shoot. I did study photograpy at school but this was before DSLR were available. I do have two standard SLRs for sale if anyone is interested.

Im looking at getting one of these and was wanting to know what peoples opinions are. Who has one that can tell me the pros's and con's Thanks in advance Simon :lol:

I found similar worms in the bottom of my Daphnia culture when I cleaned it out. My fish ate them.

Thanks Jim, Ill see how things go. Holding is not a problem. Its another forum members fish. I may have another option so will see how that goes and then let you know Simon

Hi all I was wondering whether there was anyone who is going down to conference who would be able to bring back some fish for me from CHCH. I dont mind paying a bit for the inconveniance. I am in Wanganui, but if were coming through bulls etc I may be able to meet depending on when. Please PM if you may be able to help. Thanks Simon

Thanks, and was good to finally meet you in person. Thanks for making the journey up

Thats because the Tropheus came to the camera and the Shellies hid from it

Opps, Ill edit the original now.

Any of you other who were there who took photos, please post them up. Have you thought of starting one Carlos? Ours isnt so much a club, rather a group of fish geeks who meet once a month. Very informal but its fun

Today we went and saw tanks from our Feilding member Aquaplod, and Bulls members Ryanjury and Bilbo. We started in Feilding where Aquaplod had a huge 8 foot African Cichlid tank. The tank is so big that there is an electric hoist to lift the lid on and off for maintainance. We were treated to coffee and sausage rolls and cake while we sat back and viewed the tanks.

The room was not big enough for all so we waited our turn. In pic from left, P44, Aquila, Bronze Dragon and Bilbo P44 with his head in the way. Looking at Bilbo's Apisto's BBS Hatchery Next we went to Ryanjury's place to look at his large collection of African Cichlids and other various fish. Ryans fishroom was almost bursting at the seams with tanks Ryan Holding his Daughter and discussing something with P44 Tropheus Mixed African Tank Oscars A pair of wild Kribs, Mother on wrigglers

LOL, They are a greek metal band that chose that name in the late 80's to get attention. They sing about Greek Mytholoy and not Religion as most would assume with the name. LOL And yes, they mostly sing in Greek(is that the right name for the greek language??)

Save yourself the hassle. Ill bring my clippers,LOL

Just a reminder people that we will be holding our Feilding/Bulls Tank crawl this Sunday. 11am start in Feilding. Ending with a BBQ at Ryanjurys place in Bulls. PM me for more details if you are wanting to join the fun Simon

Sorry guys to intrude, but can I ask what the photography forum you are discussing is? I am interested, Ta

You should give up the joints. It tends to make you less active. LOL Welcome

PM'd

Should be fine in a 400litre tank. They are messy so good filtration is a must.

I didnt. After they been in the outside world for a day or so, they are dry.
